Implementation Manager

New Yesterday

BURGERS & FRIES AND INCREDIBLE CAREERS!

We're the burger restaurant with the uncomplicated formula: burgers and fries cooked to perfection, with no frozen ingredients. And we've stuck to the same 'perfect and serve' philosophy since our family business began in 1986.

These days, we're still just as much a family as we always have been. We have tons of integrity, we're enthusiastic. we're competitive and we just get it done - whatever the challenge.

At Five Guys, the Project Management Office (PMO) is the team responsible for making sure technology and business change actually lands. It focuses on outcomes, not just delivery, ensuring what gets built is understood, adopted and used across the business.

The PMO is a small, delivery-focused function reporting to the Head of Projects and is actively being built. Its current focus is cybersecurity and Microsoft 365 improvement, with broader programmes to follow as the business grows.

The Implementation Manager role exists because while Five Guys invests in technology, it needs stronger, hands-on implementation to make change stick. You close that gap by personally owning rollouts end-to-end, creating guidance and training, running sessions and measuring adoption. This is a practical implementation role where you do the work, not just oversee it.
